Day 1: Friday 5 October

Preparations and the baking tests... An easel was modified to create an "artistic" version of the island roadside kiosk, which sells flowers, apples, etc. Care was taken with regard to the colors and lettering selected. Rather unfortunately, color theory and composition are a side effect of prior artistic training. As European measurement systems, ovens, temperatures, as well as ingredients (no, vanilla sugar is NOT vanilla extract) are very different from the norms of baking in the USA, many tests and best guesses were executed. The first resulting batch of chocolate chip was disappointing to say the least (see below for sad, square cookies).
